The personnel are: Paddy Killoran/Paddy Sweeny - fiddles, Jack Healy - flute/sax, Eileen O'Shea - piano, James Ryan - banjo, William McElligott - accordion. Coleman recorded both of these jigs; the first one gives its title to the medley, the second he called Coleman's Cross, which is also a name for a reel.

Hi Deirdre,

Great to hear you enjoyed the recording - there's also a recording of your Da playing with Paddy Sweeney here, if you haven't found it. Such marvelous musicians!

I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to find this website. Bill McElligott was my father, died in 1973. We have none of his recordings. I knew Jack McKenna, Jimmy McGinn, and of course, Jack Healy. I now have grandchildren of my own and I can actually play my Dad's recordings for them. Thank you so much for preserving this lost piece of my childhood, of my family.
